Flooded Carpets Cleaning London

When you’re dealing with water-damaged carpeting and rugs, your cleaning options depend largely upon the source of the flooding.

If the unwanted water was just the result of relatively clean basement seepage or perhaps lawn sprinkler spillage into your sub-basement, then you’re fairly lucky and cleaning is an easy choice. However if your carpets and rugs have been doused with sewage-contaminated floodwater for example, then your choices are limited to discarding it for health and safety reasons or hiring a professional flood cleanup company like Water Damage. When in doubt about the flooding source, it’s safest to assume the water is not clean and the carpet may contain dangerous substances or organisms.

Flooded Carpet Cleaning London

Our water removal experts at Water Damage use industrial-strength carpet cleaning methods and tools to guarantee that potentially damaging spoilage is safely removed from all types of flooded carpets. Even throw rugs can usually be saved!

Our full complement of flooded carpet cleaning services at Water Damage includes deodorization and disinfecting, re-stretching or repair of wet carpet when appropriate, as well as fabric protection and waterproofing to prevent future damage. Depending on how your carpeting is installed, we may be able to remove it in order to have it cleaned and then reinstall it later.

If your flooding is minimal and you choose to tackle the problem yourself, here are a few tips:

if possible use a wet/dry vacuum system

use a dehumidifier to remove moisture

Vacuum the carpet after it is thoroughly dry. If you notice a musty smell you can sprinkle a bit of baking soda over the carpet. Gently work it in with a sponge mop and leave the treatment on overnight. Vacuum the baking soda out thoroughly the following day.

What Our Customers Say

"I called Water Damage after our ceiling almost fell down! They were quick, clean and repaired the damage really well. Nobody can even notice."-- Sam, London WC1

“We had our bath overflow for 45 minutes and our ceilings collapsed into the living room beneath. WaterDamage.co.uk responded within 4 hours and had the property dry with a heat trailer within 36 hours! They saved almost all our books and were able to rebuild the ceiling and have it all decorated in the same week. We were extremely pleased with their service; I would definitely recommend them.”-- Dr. Ryan Garter, London NW2

"Water Damage were so fast! The wooden flooring in our kitchen started to cup and we could smell damp. Waterdamage.co.uk turned up 5 hours after I called them with the right equipment, and covered my floor in a film of plastic to separate the rest of the room from the space under the floor. They found the small leak and fixed it. There was no mold so they immediately began drying the concrete and wooden floor with small dehumidifiers. It took three weeks of drying but the cupping in my floor has almost completely gone and it cost so much less than I expected. 10 out of 10; good lads too." -- Learna, Stoke-on-Trent ST5

“Fast service and always with a smile. They explained everything well and really knew their stuff. I got a great feeling of reassurance all the way through.”-- Liam, Watford WD

"We had a damp and damaged floor in our utility room. Several other companies came out and could not work out was was going wrong. I called Water Damage and within 30 minutes they had identified the source of the leak and 24 hours later I was given a full report with the various options available to me. I agreed to the work and 48 hours later it was completed. Great job!"-- Margaret, Knightsbridge

"Our central heating was leaking everywhere, through the floors, the ceilings and down the walls. I called Water Damage and someone came to me within 45 minutes. A valve had burst which he replaced. They then installed a dehumidifier to dry out walls. A couple days later they repaired my ceiling and painted the walls. Brilliant work and you would never know the leak occurred in the first place." -- Kirsty Waller, Fulham
